What is unusual about the 2017 batch is that ALL of them are kind of weird but also sort of normal. There is no clear cut winner that has it in the bag such as the year Contestant Cheesy Parmesean Bread won as it was OBVIOUS that CPB tastes more like a regular chip like Original Lay's and Cheetos(potatoes, corn, cheese, salt, and oil.) All of the 2017 Contestants EACH have a more equal chance to win than say the year that Cappuccino Chips was a Contestant. People ragged the hell out of Cappucino Chips claiming it tasted disgusting. No sirree, you will NOT find a Cappuccino incarnate in the 2017 Contestants!

Frito-Lay Angrily Introduces Line Of Healthy Snacks

PLANO, TX—With the recent trend of wholesome snack foods reaching "truly ridiculous proportions," Frito-Lay announced Monday that it would, against its better judgment, roll out a new line of healthy fruit-and-vegetable-based chips next February.

"Here," said Frito-Lay CEO Al Carey as he disgustedly tossed a bag of the company's new Flat Earth-brand snack crisps onto the lectern during a meeting with shareholders and members of the press. "Here's some sh*t that's made from beets. I hope you're all happy now that you have your precious beet chips with the recommended daily serving of fruit, or vegetables, or whatever the hell a 'beet' is."

"God help us all, would you look at these flavors," said Carey, gesturing toward a display showcasing the several varieties of Flat Earth chips, including Kauliflower Krunch, Raisins 'N Chives, Cranberry Spinach Explosion, Rutabaga Yum, Tofu Snaps, Eggplant Ecstasy, Broccoloroos, and Watercress. "Look at what you've reduced us to."

Frito-Lay spokeswoman Lisa Greeley, who said that the company made a commitment in 2004 to develop a healthier line of snacks but "never thought it would actually come to this," described the Flat Earth brand as "tailor-made for the small, vocal minority of health-conscious consumers who apparently can't just be content with salads, bananas, apples, or any of the literally thousands of fruits and vegetables already widely available."

"Our new veggie snacks combine the zesty tang of parsnip, the most mouthwatering root vegetable out there, with the bold flavor of, let's say, jute?" said Greeley before reluctantly bringing a Turnips 'N Radish chip to her mouth and forcing down a full bite. "It's a brand-new taste sensation unlike anything you've ever experienced, unless you've ever eaten sisal twine."

According to Frito-Lay's website, the new snacks contain one-third of the fat, one-half of the calories, and one-1,000th of the irresistible flavor of Frito-Lay's classic line of potato and corn chips. The presence of trans-fats and saturated oils is avoided by employing a cooking process "strikingly similar to the method used to create particle board." Serving suggestions that will be printed on the packaging include "definitely not adding any salt or seasoning, because then you might die"; dipping the chips in "delicious plain yogurt, lettuce paste, or other ground-up Flat Earth products"; and enhancing the flavor by replacing the chip in your hand with a Hot'n Spicy BBQ chip.

In January, Frito-Lay will launch a Flat Earth marketing campaign based on the slogan, "Bet You Can't Eat Even One." Surprisingly, however, the company is also in talks with distributors to ensure that Flat Earth snacks are installed in every school vending machine in the country.

"Oh, they're definitely going in the vending machines," Carey said. "Everyone's going to share in this misery, not just a handful of Naderites with spastic colons or loser kids with no taste buds whose parents want them to grow up to be boring milquetoasts afraid to have any fun. And don't think we haven't forgotten you either, office workers on snack breaks and anyone who wants to serve a big bowl of disappointment at a cocktail party."

"If this is what you want, America, fine," Carey continued. "But if you don't like them, then you can suck my f**king dick, because this is it—no more veggie crisps after this. None. You hear me? None."

"You're all gonna die eventually, anyway," Carey added. "Might as well be eating Cool Ranch Doritos with cheese dip when you go."

Frito-Lay is now considering discontinuing its traditional snack line and focusing entirely on chickpeas and sprouts, since, according to Carey, Americans "are so scared of getting fat, and are clearly no longer interested in good-tasting food."

"You all disgust me," said Carey, who then kicked over the Flat Earth display and stormed out of the room.

Crispy Taco isn't bad, but at the same time, it's not gonna be something I would pick as one of my "go to" flavors either. It's like, if I'm looking for a snack, and they were around, they'd work fine. But if I didn't have a snack and was looking to go buy some at the store...I'd most likely pass them for sour cream and onion, cheddar and sour cream, or bbq.

Not a fan of fried green tomatoes so haven't tried that one, and the bagel one is kettle cooked and I don't like kettle cooked chips so taco wins by default for me.

"I see the sadness in their eyesMelancholy in their criesDevoid of all the passionThe human spirit cannot die"

I wish they'd offer those new experimental flavored chips in small, single serving sized bags for like, 50¢ each rather than forcing us to fork over the price of a full sized bag of something we might not even like.

Great news guys.... With the Air Hawk, flat balls are no longer a problem!!!

Finished up my Fried Green Tomatoes chips and the second time around they don't taste too bad. The first time they tasted nasty and the second time they tasted decent. But FRTC definitely have the overplayed Sour Cream And Onion taste like the Truffle Chips had a couple years back. DUAF usually/sometimes has at least one choice that tastes like SCAO.
